Chapter 293
Defense Specialization and After the Preliminaries
851 Name: Anonymous Great Sword Wielder
Well, the preliminary is over .
852 Name: Anonymous Great Shield Wielder
It will take a while for the results to come out, but no one died in my guild, so I have high hopes .
853 Name: Anonymous Spear Wielder
You sure are strong .
854 Name: Anonymous Magic User
I was reminded of just how useful tamed monsters are .
855 Name: Anonymous Great Sword Wielder
They really are strong . There were a few times that I would have died without my monster .
856 Name: Anonymous Archer
Well, strong players are strong with or without monsters .
857 Name: Anonymous Spear Wielder
There were a few places where no one would go .
Places that people purposely avoided .
858 Name: Anonymous Great Shield Wielder
That sounds like it might involve one of our members .
859 Name: Anonymous Great Sword Wielder
Of course .
Maple’s position was displayed on the map the whole time, and everyone ignored it .
That’s no surprise .
860 Name: Anonymous Spear Wielder
I went and saw for myself . Only a chosen few could get close to that .
Most would get caught in it and die .
861 Name: Anonymous Great Shield Wielder
I heard explosions regularly and thought that something crazy was happening .
I can’t do stuff like that .
862 Name: Anonymous Magic User
And I hope you stay that way .
Don’t turn the field into a land of death as if it’s the normal thing to do .
863 Name: Anonymous Archer
Yes, stay as you are .
Don’t change .
864 Name: Anonymous Great Sword Wielder
So, anyone who got close to Maple ended up dying, right? What was she doing?
865 Name: Anonymous Spear Wielder
It seemed like she was luring in monsters by using herself as bait .
I saw the monsters rushing out of the forest and being slaughtered one after another . It was like a horror movie .
866 Name: Anonymous Great Shield Wielder
So, Maple was using herself as bait for the whole event…
867 Name: Anonymous Magic User
What do you mean?
868 Name: Anonymous Great Shield Wielder
Near the end, she got inside a ridiculously large crocodile and ran a lap around the field .
She was pretty sad that she couldn’t get the footage of it .
869 Name: Anonymous Great Sword Wielder
How the hell did that even happen?
870 Name: Anonymous Spear Wielder
I doubt there is any point in asking .
Is it within the realm of reason?
871 Name: Anonymous Archer
Is she even playing the same game as everyone else? I feel like her goal isn’t the same .
872 Name: Anonymous Magic User
So that’s what I was trampled by… I was wondering what the hell that laser shooting crocodile was .
No wonder . Crocodiles don’t even need to use lasers .
872 Name: Anonymous Great Sword Wielder
I wonder if she’s going to get even stronger .
She’s always with her tamed monster . I wouldn’t be surprised if she learned all of the skills .
873 Name: Anonymous Great Shield Wielder
Syrup has gotten a lot stronger .
I’m sure you’ll be able to see just how much in the main event .
874 Name: Anonymous Great Sword Wielder
So it is getting stronger…
It’s crazy that there isn’t a limit .
875 Name: Anonymous Magic User
I guess I’m looking forward to it, even though I’m scared .
876 Name: Anonymous Archer
I never stop being scared .
877 Name: Anonymous Great Shield Wielder
It’s not easy to get used to .
I thought I was used to Maple, and then she whipped out those tentacles .
Like that, the preliminary ended, and everyone waited for the results to be announced .
The management room had calmed down now, and they were working on confirming the rankings . It was filled with names that they all recognized .
“It seems like there were no surprises this time . ”
“Well, stronger players get stronger monsters . It can’t be helped . Perhaps we should have put more emphasis on PvP . ”
“Yes . We will do that next time . ”
They went over their mistakes while they worked . Once they were done, they moved to observing the movements of players, as they always did .
“…Hey, did we add any area bosses?”
“No…not exactly . ”
“Some players might think that we did . ”
“A lot of people seem to have gotten caught in them . ”
Mi’s flames, Payne’s torrent of light, Izu’s explosions, Kasumi’s forest of mist, and Maple’s…indescribable thing .
All of them had the atmosphere of an area boss .
“You could say that the terrain and rules matched their combat style . Interesting…”
“This is serious . ”
“I guess we have to look at each one . We’ll leave the good points and change the bad . ”
And like that, they played Maples footage first, as if to get the most shocking thing out of the way . They saw that the prairie had changed greatly due to the effect of several skills . It was the place that Maple had stayed in .
“That flower…ah…I see . ”
“Even if her location is exposed, there are no players that would go to where Maple is . That thing is a monster luring machine . ”
“This is not it . This is not what you’re supposed to…”
“I know how you feel . ”
“It was our mistake for letting her learn about it in the jungle last time…”
However, they continued to watch the footage . And when they saw Maple in the crocodile’s mouth, they became very excited .
“How does she fit in so snugly?”
“It was a good thing that we erased its stomach . She would have exploded it from the inside . ”
“Yes, we can’t have monsters with insides . ”
They nodded in relief . The incident with the octopus had made them change it . However, a few seconds later, the crocodile that they had praised so much was being used as a car .
“Why doesn’t she get out!”
“I just don’t understand it at all . But I suppose it does move fast . ”
“We should have made the fangs use piercing attacks…”
After that, they looked through the other scenes and threw out ideas on adjustments they could make .
“Now I’m worried for the monsters in the main event…”
“I hope they won’t turn into toys… After all, they will be attacking as a party this time . ”
“It’s the boss that is supposed to be doing the attacking . ”
“They’re already acting like area bosses . There is basically no difference now . ”
“Well, that’s true . ”
They were especially strong with their tamed monsters . However, that just meant they needed to send out monsters that could deal with that . And so they looked at the data for the monsters they had prepared . Their eyes were full of hope and anxiety .
